Property Description for 401 East 89th Street, 8-GH

This special 3 bed home (in a Condop - condo/coop hybrid - building OWNS the land, not a land lease with an almost completely paid-off mortgage!) is impeccably renovated and rarely available, this sprawling 3 bed, 3 bath home offers incredible value on the Upper East Side's most coveted location. This mint-condition home includes luxurious upgrades such as 7-inch hand-scraped wood-plank floors, installation of numerous designer light fixtures and a new thermostat-controlled A/C and heating system. A elegant layout provides separation of the main living spaces: large chef's kitchen, spacious living room, and separate dining room are thoughtfully laid-out. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances (including a refrigerator with built-in Keurig), white granite countertops, tiled backsplashes, custom cabinetry offering an abundance of storage, and a peninsula that creates a comfortable breakfast bar. Split bedroom wings lends privacy to all 3 rooms. And the master suite boasts a large bay window, three large custom closets, tasteful recessed lighting, and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath with a jetted bathtub. The secondary bedrooms feature double-closets, custom light fixtures, and share two additional renovated full bathrooms. Additional features include a stacked full-size Bosch washer-dryer, and crown and baseboard moldings. Gracie Towne House is a coveted Upper East Side Condop with no board interview required! Individual shareholders have the rare ability to convert their co-op shares into condo ownership. This full-service building provides a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, a building handyman, a porter, a new fitness room, additional laundry room on each floor, and a bike room. Additionally, the building offers storage cages and parking in an on-site garage. Pets welcome. The building allows sublets, pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors. Ideally located, this home is surrounded by parks, schools, restaurants, and grocery stores. Nearby attractions include Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green Aquatic & Fitness Center, Mayorial Home Gracie Mansion, the East River Esplanade, Soul Cycle, Pure Yoga, 92nd Street Y, Fairway Market, and Whole Foods. Gracie Town House is nearby to Q, 4, 5, and 6 trains for easy transportation to anywhere in the city. A lobby and hallway renovation has been funded and approved. Strong financials with recently reduced maintenance

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
